iov_iter_advance() skips over zero-length iovecs, however it does not properly
terminate at the end of the iovec array. Fix this by checking against
i->count before we skip a zero-length iov.
The bug was reproduced with a test program that continually randomly creates
iovs to writev. The fix was also verified with the same program and also it
could verify that the correct data was contained in the file after each
writev.

The original preemptible-RCU patch put the choice between classic and
preemptible RCU into kernel/Kconfig.preempt, which resulted in build failures
on machines not supporting CONFIG_PREEMPT. This choice was therefore moved to
init/Kconfig, which worked, but placed the choice between classic and
preemptible RCU at the top level, a very obtuse choice indeed.
This patch changes from the Kconfig "choice" mechanism to a pair of booleans,
only one of which (CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU) is user-visible, and is located in
kernel/Kconfig.preempt, where one would expect it to be. The other
(CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU) is in init/Kconfig so that it is available to all
architectures, hopefully avoiding build breakage. Thanks to Roman Zippel for
suggesting this approach.

Return value convention of module's init functions is 0/-E. Sometimes,
e.g. during forward-porting mistakes happen and buggy module created,
where result of comparison "workqueue != NULL" is propagated all the way up
to sys_init_module. What happens is that some other module created
workqueue in question, our module created it again and module was
successfully loaded.
Or it could be some other bug.
Let's make such mistakes much more visible. In retrospective, such
messages would noticeably shorten some of my head-scratching sessions.
Note, that dump_stack() is just a way to get attention from user. Sample
message:
sys_init_module: 'foo'->init suspiciously returned 1, it should follow 0/-E convention
sys_init_module: loading module anyway...

Commit c9a3ba55 (module: wait for dependent modules doing init.) didn't quite
work because the waiter holds the module lock, meaning that the state of the
module it's waiting for cannot change.
Fortunately, it's fairly simple to update the state outside the lock and do
the wakeup.

Free pages in the hugetlb pool are free and as such have a reference count of
zero. Regular allocations into the pool from the buddy are "freed" into the
pool which results in their page_count dropping to zero. However, surplus
pages can be directly utilized by the caller without first being freed to the
pool. Therefore, a call to put_page_testzero() is in order so that such a
page will be handed to the caller with a correct count.
This has not affected end users because the bad page count is reset before the
page is handed off. However, under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM this triggers a BUG when
the page count is validated.
Thanks go to Mel for first spotting this issue and providing an initial fix.

Recent patch titled
Reduce CPU wastage on idle md array with a write-intent bitmap.
would sometimes leave the array with dirty bitmap bits that stay dirty. A
subsequent write would sort things out so it isn't a big problem, but should
be fixed nonetheless.
We need to make sure that when the bitmap becomes not "allclean", the
daemon_sleep really does get set to a sensible value.

If an md array is "auto-read-only", then this appears in /proc/mdstat as
/dev/md0: active(auto-read-only)
whereas if it is truely readonly, it appears as
/dev/md0: active (read-only)
The difference being a space.
One program known to parse this file expects the space and gets badly
confused. It will be fixed, but it would be best if what the kernel generates
is more consistent too.

Address 3 known bugs in the current memory policy reference counting method.
I have a series of patches to rework the reference counting to reduce overhead
in the allocation path. However, that series will require testing in -mm once
I repost it.
1) alloc_page_vma() does not release the extra reference taken for
vma/shared mempolicy when the mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE. This can result in
leaking mempolicy structures. This is probably occurring, but not being
noticed.
Fix: add the conditional release of the reference.
2) hugezonelist unconditionally releases a reference on the mempolicy when
mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE. This can result in decrementing the reference
count for system default policy [should have no ill effect] or premature
freeing of task policy. If this occurred, the next allocation using task
mempolicy would use the freed structure and probably BUG out.
Fix: add the necessary check to the release.
3) The current reference counting method assumes that vma 'get_policy()'
methods automatically add an extra reference a non-NULL returned mempolicy.
This is true for shmem_get_policy() used by tmpfs mappings, including
regular page shm segments. However, SHM_HUGETLB shm's, backed by
hugetlbfs, just use the vma policy without the extra reference. This
results in freeing of the vma policy on the first allocation, with reuse of
the freed mempolicy structure on subsequent allocations.
Fix: Rather than add another condition to the conditional reference
release, which occur in the allocation path, just add a reference when
returning the vma policy in shm_get_policy() to match the assumptions.

changed nf_unregister_queue_handler to return an error when attempting to

This is correct in case we really do have a different queue handler already

bind and aborts if that fails, so try to be nice and return success in
that case.

When binding or unbinding to an address family, the res_id is usually set
to zero. When logging instance 0 already exists and is owned by a different
process, this makes nfunl_recv_config return -EPERM without performing
the bind operation.
Since no operation on the foreign logging instance itself was requested,
this is incorrect. Move bind/unbind commands before the queue instance
permissions checks.
Also remove an incorrect comment.

xt_time_match() in net/netfilter/xt_time.c in kernel 2.6.24 never
matches on Sundays. On my host I have a rule like
iptables -A OUTPUT -m time --weekdays Sun -j REJECT
and it never matches. The problem is in localtime_2(), which uses
r->weekday = (4 + r->dse) % 7;
to map the epoch day onto a weekday in {0,...,6}. In particular this
gives 0 for Sundays. But 0 has to be wrong; a weekday of 0 can never
match. xt_time_match() has
if (!(info->weekdays_match & (1 << current_time.weekday)))
return false;
and when current_time.weekday = 0, the result of the & is always
zero, even when info->weekdays_match = XT_TIME_ALL_WEEKDAYS = 0xFE.
